Strength Quilt Pattern

This quilt is perfect for showcasing specialty or large print fabrics and it goes together very quickly. I will provide yardage assuming that the binding will be the same colors as the narrow sashing between the blocks (red).

Sew these together alternating blocks with sashing. Make 5 strips, each with 6 blocks and 7 sashing pieces. There's a sashing piece on each end.

​Measure the length of your strip and use that measurement in the next step to cut the background strips.

Cutting background and piecing the center of the quilt:From the background fabric cut 4.5" strips the width of the fabric. You will need enough strips to make 6 background strips that are the length of your pieced strips. It will be 8 or 9 strips of fabric.

Sew these to the pieced strips alternating pieced strips and background strips to make the center of the quilt. Press the quilt and measure the width of the quilt. You will use this in the next step.

Adding the top and bottom borders:

Cut 3 strips of background fabric 3.5" the width of the fabric. Piece these into one long piece and cut 2 strips the width of the quilt. Sew the top and bottom borders to finish the quilt.

Cut the remaining narrow sashing fabric (red) for binding.

This one is madewith hand dyed fabrics using some one of a kind fabrics for the blocks.
